WriteRoom: Distraction-Free Writing

WriteRoom IconLife is full of distractions. Whether it’s birds chirping outdoors, your dog constantly barking at the neighbor’s cat, or your desktop filled with way too many windows open. Believe it or not, most people who write stories, blog posts, and news articles are often distracted with panels, menu bars, Instant Messages etc. Many programs like Mircosoft Word and even Apple’s Pages can have distracting qualities. There’s no need to worry. Hog Bay Software has found a cure and it’s called WriteRoom.

WriteRoom fills your screen with a color of your choosing and shows only the text that you are typing. It blocks out all of those bothersome panels and windows giving you the piece and tranquility you need to keep your head straight. WriteRoom allows you to save in plain or rich text format making it possible to add images if necessary. Once your document is saved, WriteRoom will automatically save your draft when you stop typing for 5 seconds, making it easy to recover lost data in case of a mishap crash. WriteRoom includes a plug-in granting you the ability to open any document whether it’s an email or a word document. Just save and quit once you are finished to have your text sent back into the application you were working in. WriteRoom is a simple, easy to use productivity tool getting rid of all of those distractions allowing you to clear your head and write what you had in mind. This is a must for all of you talented writers out there - it’s available now for $24.95 (USD).

    Since WriteRoom updates went the way of the all mighty dollar this might be something to look into.
